CPU Installation:

2.3

Main Memory Installation: DIMM1/2

The SYS7180VE Industrial CPU Card supports a single Intel^®P4 Celeron^TMor

Celeron D^TMprocessor and Pentium 4^TMprocessor. The processor’s VID pins

automatically program the voltage regulator on the CPU card to the required processor

voltage. The host bus speed is automatically selected. The processor connects to the CPU

card through the 478-pins socket.

The SYS7180VE Industrial CPU Card supports two single-side or double-sided

DDR266/333 unregistered, DIMM 184-pin sockets for a maximum total memory of 1GB.

Using the non-ECC DDR SDRAM DIMMS.

The CPU card supports the following memory features:

•

184-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts

266MHz and 333MHz non-ECC DDR SDRAM

Un-buffered single or double-sided DIMMs in the following sizes:

The CPU card supports the processors listed in table below:

The socket-478 comes with a lever to secure the processor. Make sure the notch on

the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the socket.

Note: All memory components and DIMMs used with the SYS7180VE CPU card must

comply with the PC SDRAM Specification. These include: the PC SDRAM Specification

*memory component specific), the PC Unbuffered DIMM Specification, and the PC Serial

Presence Detect Specification.

After you have installed the processor into the socket 478, check if the

configuration setup for the CPU type and speed are correct. The CPU should always have a

Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached to prevent overheating.

Note: Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in total contact to avoid

CPU overheating problem that would cause your system to hang or be unstable.

2.5.1 Front Panel Connector: J1

2.5.2 USB Connector: USB1-2 USB3-4

This header can be connected to a front panel power switch. The front panel

Note: USB cable is special designed for SYS7180VE

connector includes headers for these I/O connections:

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) that allows plug and play computer peripherals

such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer, modem/ISDN, CD-ROM and floppy

disk drive to be automatically detected when they are attached physically without having to

install drivers or reboot.

Power switch

Power LED

This header can be connected to an LED that will light when the computer is

powered on.

Hard drive activity LED

The USB connectors allow any of several USB devices to be attached to the

computer. Typically, the device driver for USB devices is managed by the operating

system. However, because keyboard and mouse support may be needed in the Setup

program before the operating system boots, the BIOS supports USB keyboards and mice.

This header can be connected to an LED to provide a visual indicator that data is

being read from or written to an IDE hard drive. For the LED to function properly, the IDE

drive must be connected to the onboard IDE controller.

Speaker

The CPU card has four USB ports; one USB peripheral can be connected to each

port. For more than four USB devices, an external hub can be connected to either port. The

four USB ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors. The CPU card fully

supports the universal host controller interface (UHCI) and uses UHCI-compatible

software drivers.

A speaker can be installed on the SYS7180VE as a manufacturing option. The

speaker is enabled by a jumper on pins 2, 4, 6, 8 of the front panel connector. Removing

the jumper can disable the onboard speaker, and an offboard speaker can be connected in

its place. The speaker (onboard or offboard) provides error beep code information during

the POST in the event that the computer cannot use the video interface. The speaker is not

connected to the audio subsystem and does not receive output from the audio subsystem.

USB features includes:

CHAPTER 3 - BIOS SETUP

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

3.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses Award’s Setup program built into the FLASH ROM BIOS.

The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special

information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information

when the power is turned off.

The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring

your system using Setup.

Starting Setup

The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer.

The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of

checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an

operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating

system.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two

ways:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. by pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at

the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On Self-Test).

Press DEL to enter SETUP.

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup,

restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button

on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and

<Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not

boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...

Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP

Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use

the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to

quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program

using the keyboard.

These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer

to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small

change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.

Setup Items

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your

computer no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS™ supports an override to the

CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.

The main menu includes the following main setup categories. Recall that some systems

may not include all entries.

Standard CMOS Features

The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this

end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults.

Use this menu for basic system configuration.

Advanced BIOS Features

Use this menu to set the Advanced Features available on your system.

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of

resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications

between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items

should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they

provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider

making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your
